Luong Prabang

Arrived Luong Prabang around 3pm and got dropped off at the bus
station. From there you have to take a tuk tuk to the center for
10,000kip. Walked around looking for a room and it was hard to find
cheap rooms. There are a lot in the 100,000kip range. Finally found a
room at Chitlatda Guest House (Sisouphanh Rd tel: 071-212227) for
60,000kip with 2 beds, shared bathroom (squat toilet, hotshower), free
wifi. Also heard about a hostel called Spicy Lao but don't know
anything about it.

Luong Prabang is a pretty nice town at the convergence of the Mekong
river and another river. Lots of old buildings from the French era.
The is a food market in an ally off the night market where you can get
a plate of food from one of the many buffets for 10,000kip. Utopia is
a real cool bar on the banks of the river with a sand volley ball
court.

Leaving Luong Prabang I booked a bus to Vang Vieng for 115,000 from
the guesthouse. It was suppose to be a minivan but ended up being a
small bus but it was all good cause the bus could seat about 25 people
but there were only 6 of us. But we stopped to pick random people up
on the way so it wasnt much different than the public bus which i bet
you could probably get for half the price at the bus station. We left
around 9 and arrived at 330, way longer than I expected.
